Abstract: Canadian planting of biotech crops is forecast at about 8 million hectares in 2011, up from about 6.9 million hectares in 2010. The main biotech crops remain canola, corn, soybeans, and, most recently a small amount of sugar beets. Canada remains one of a handful of countries which has approved stacked traits, or planting up to three traits in one crop. On the animal side, guidance from the three regulatory agencies in Canada may be issued within 2012 on the issue of whether the offspring or products of clones fall under Canadas novel food act.
